Illyrian Officer Kingdom of Naples (2 Viewers)

Found this interesting uniform. This was the Bourbon Dynasty 1789-1798 under Frederic III before the Napoleonic wars, FIII was King of Naples and King of Sicily. This line regiment was one of two under the 5th Illyrian Brigade.

The tunic has an unusual pattern of front lacing worn over a hussar dolman. I decided to make my officer slightly overweight and decrepit.

I made up the back flaps for the tunic. I had originally intended to use the Airfix G Washington parts but they were just too big.
